I think Democracy is doomed 

This was what everybody on Bluesky was angry at today:

they didn't read it. As always

If the idea is to create a safe space for the like-minded – in politics and in affinity for scolding – then fair enough. But if the aim is to defeat authoritarianism, I’m not persuaded that Bluesky helps. It’s not just that the platform as it currently exists sheds no light on why Mr. Trump won. It’s that left-liberal smugness was part of the problem. And you can’t point that out on a platform going all in on the same.
